Who drives Hyundai Tuscani/Coupe?
-
You mean you need a coupe but you dont need a sedan car. It doesnt make sense if FC is a concern to you. Sedan cars can travel about 13-14km/litre, which means up to 40% savings for your fuel cost.Originally posted by houndy:well it is a fuel efficient coupe then.. since i dont need a sedan car if you have read my earlier post...and to be that is considered good FC...i only travel from home to work...plus other things of course..
If you dont carry passengers most of the time, why not smaller cars? At least it can save you a lot on your 10 year loan. To me 7 years loan is already max out. -

but i still treat it as a sports car becos of its sporty look...
TUS is a cheap man's coupe....
so wat is Fairlady???Cheap man's high capacity coupe???

cause i dont like a smaller car? or i dont like a sedan car? and my salary can only afford a tusky?Originally posted by ed2win2:You mean you need a coupe but you dont need a sedan car.

hmmm.. i have been asking edwin that question... shessh...Originally posted by super999hero:Some ppl might not actually even own a car themselves and still pass judgement on other's car. This category are okie Bcos they are ignorant. But for a fellow car owner, to post bad comments openly n show no respect for another owner's car, it only reflect on their characters sadly. In SG, you dun have to have own a fast car or big car to gain respect. The ability to afford and upkeep a car is already something. Unless, you are born wif a silver spoon then that is another story. So wat car r u driving then, com on let us know so we can judge u too then. -
Yup really have to agree with u on that...maybe we can suggest to the govt to make n give free road tax decals for car owners to paste in their cars stating 'poor man car please dont look down on meOriginally posted by super999hero:Some ppl might not actually even own a car themselves and still pass judgement on other's car.

' or 'rich mans car,u better respect me

I not the first one to coin the car 'poor man's coupe' . I referred more like a 'wannabe' or 'no identity' car.Originally posted by dreamcast:Nobody said anything about ALL tus owners being rich? But go back n read your earlier posts n that miachiam labeling all tus owners as no money to buy better coupes blah blah blah....'poor man's coupe' etc.And now you are telling different story that got ppl driving Sunnys and have 7 cars at home making a Sunny a 'rich man's 2nd car'?There is no such thing as 'poor man car'or 'rich man car' on the general whole,(And dont compare with people who owns exotic cars/rolls royce,lambo etc.
Thats another level of comparison) We are just normal people.A car is just a car,be it a coupe,mpv,sedan etc..What nonsense of categorizing 'this car is rich man' 'that car is poor man'
And to ans your question of why my friend bought a tus,its because he likes it n coz of 'PEOPLE LIKE U' that think no $$ people/no $$ buy better cars buy tus,lousy car,not fast etc! and btw his neighbour who drives a rolls royce n ferarri was once a tus owner,think next time i see him should tell him'Uncle heng u sell yr tus leh,people see u in that car think very 'xia suai' one leh
Wat u mean no such thing as poor or rich car? Car is just car? Thats rubbish. It may not BE a NICE FACT that there are societal levels and comparisons, but it IS STILL A FACT. There are expensive cars, cheap cars, good cars, respected cars, lousy cars and cars people don't like etc..
Of coz there are always exceptions to every case, and if u notice my first post, altho I sound condemning which IS MY RIGHT, I didn't straightaway say "Oi, All Tusc drivers! U all are poor!"
I just asked why they bot Tus when it dun seem to satisfy any particular category well (albeit in a nasty tone).
Ppl say I low mentaliy and all tat, but are no better than me. -
Many heroes like u, first few posts juz to flame me.

then
"So wat car r u driving then, com on let us know so we can judge u too then"
You want to come down to my level after just lecturing me about wat a sad character I am? Don't la, pls, don't come down here and soil your shoes.
Anyway, too bad, society IS INDEED like tat. I have already emphasized that. So stop using those sad life la, evil person kinda things in reply to my posts. Tats besides the point.
And I only condemn (partially at tat) the Tus as a wannabe car, not tat I condemn poor people.
As I said, Tus put itself in a coupe/sporty category, so naturally I compare it with other coupes n sporty cars (which all happen to be better in most ways), so it ends up looking a bit poser to me to own one lor.
Of coz not owners are la, but this kind of argument will go on forever la. In GENERAL I mean. Everything ppl say are usually IN GENERAL. -
I have been in your position before. Like you I am very concern about FC. Thats why I settle for a Japanese sedan, about 14km/l. Being 2nd car for family, obviously i dont need the extra passengers seat behind. I have 80k ready cash to pay off for my car at that time. I could have at least $150k budget if i take a 7 yr loan. I like coupe too but reason I settle for sedan is FC. Thats is why i find your reason of low fuel consumption for purchase of Tuscani unreasonable. You should not have quoted FC as a reason, makes no sense at all.Originally posted by houndy:hmmm.. i have been asking edwin that question... shessh...
What does it tell you about a person if he take a 10year loan on a coupe.
I give a rating 10/10 for being an extremist and courage but a rating 0/10 on money spending. As i said before, it looks like a lame attempt to pass off someone who is sporty and rich. At least i am not a poser. I buy something which i can easily afford, not saving here and there just to pay off my loan, or accelerate the coupe so slow to save the fuel. -
So wats ur ride? pls do reply kindly. Since u like labelling ppl and condemning ppl's car as wannabe, poseur, care tell us more abt your choice of ride I am sure many ppl would bi interested wat your perfect, intelligient and sensible choice of ride.

Dun be as childish as me la... Even if I driving the most lau pok car in the world, doesn't mean I cant criticise another car..Originally posted by super999hero:So wats ur ride? pls do reply kindly.

Just like being fat doesn't mean u can't comment about another fat girl wearing midriff and mini-skirt.
Anyway, I a bit tired of answering all those deviated questions.
Its like if I comment "Lady drivers suck" or "Taxi always anyhow stop", that doesn't mean I am referring to ALL of them. WTF is the use of posting something like
"Don't u tink there are a handful of S'poreans who are kiasu?" or
"Who agrees some ladies are bad drivers?"
Of coz the answer will be "Yeah, we agree there are some like tat" then nothing more to discuss liao rite? Without opinionated ppl, where's the value of discussion?
Wat car I drive doesn't matter, it doesn't change the fact that the Tus gives me the impression its a poser. -
Well then like people has the same impression you are just making lame remarks for a 24 yr old guy as well...Originally posted by guitarman1:Wat car I drive doesn't matter, it doesn't change the fact that the Tus gives me the impression its a poser.

All right Gentlemen... Tus is a fun car classified. And for those who wanna compare with it, cough out another fun car from other korean car maker (if there is under the same class). Infact, it's a wrong thought even to compare a Alfa and a rex...... different classsified.
Btw, purchase of any cars also we are talking about money and personnel likings. Just like some comments Alfla sucks due to history of common mechanical problems for the last few generations, but there's still hardcore lovers to it even they had experience those bad time with alfa.... so it's all about likings.... -
There is nuttin wrong with that,coz its your rite n yr opinion,but different people might also think otherwise.Any person with the right state of mind would definitely wont straight away just say 'Oi, All Tusc drivers! U all are poor!" 'no $$ buy better cars etc' And this applies to all kinda cars not only tus.But ur indirectly twisting yr words in a 'nicer' manner which will inevitably reach to your actual point(which u did)Originally posted by guitarman1:I not the first one to coin the car 'poor man's coupe' .

Obivously there r respected,bad,ex,cheap cars? Then y got price difference?But ultimately isnt it 4wheel base?Like what i said dont compare with those exotic etc cars that i mentioned earlier which is another level of comparison,coz we r normal PEOPLE.(if ur rich kind den say)People tend to look at only the surface which is not always rite.Everyone has their own preferences n needs.So lets say since there r lots of mazda6s or rx8s on the road,wat the lastest pricing? Maybe slightly abit more than 100k for M6 $130+k for rx8?So these people who r driving these all cant afford better cars?They could jolly well go n buy a 2nd hand jaguar x-type for a even cheaper price n gain their rep,n 'rich man look' So those who think in that way,stop looking always on the surface and being so judgemental.So how ru going to explain all these 'rich man car' 'poor man car' theory when there is no definte answer?Everyone has their own needs n wants. -
Bro, i seconded your opinion. that's the whole pointOriginally posted by houndy:Well then like people has the same impression you are just making lame remarks for a 24 yr old guy as well...

Dat is just plain rude to all Tus owners here...Originally posted by guitarman1:Wat car I drive doesn't matter, it doesn't change the fact that the Tus gives me the impression its a poser. -
Of cos it dun matter wat car u drive. It is onli outta of curiousity what kind of car owner wuld classify Tus as a poser. No one is here to change any opinion here and of cos everyone is free to state ur views openly in a forum. So since you not willing to share openly wif us, it's ok then. happy driving anyway, cheers.Originally posted by guitarman1:Wat car I drive doesn't matter, it doesn't change the fact that the Tus gives me the impression its a poser. -
Only for custom made lah brudder... dat one oso must order thru US... den must send back to Japan... den send back to US... den shipment to Sg... A big minus for korean cars is like dat la... got parts, but wait long long to get them...Originally posted by houndy:Why would a japanese company manufacture parts for a korean company.. it makes no sense... it is like you making money and giving it to your neighbour.. hmmm

Anyone who buy coupes on a 8 to 10 year loan should be extreme posers. The reason why Tus is targeted is because its the cheapest coupe, easiest to pose. There should be more poseurs in Tus than other coupes.Originally posted by guitarman1:Wat car I drive doesn't matter, it doesn't change the fact that the Tus gives me the impression its a poser.
That doesnt mean other coupes are safe from the tag 'poser'. Next to follow are integra and celica at 90k region. -
For those who want to pose, Tus is a good choice

Wrong, it accelerates from a standstill to 100km/h in 10.2 secs oniOriginally posted by zacus:Accutually for your information tuscani has one of the weakest accelerations and top speeds of sport cars. Tuscani accelerates from a standstill to 100km/h in 12 secs...that totally sucks for a sports car. Even the city now i'm driving if manual can hit 9.8 secs vTEC. CVT version i think can even be 10.8 secs vTEC. Accutually vTEC makes a hell lot of difference. Tuscani 2.0 litres more road tax. City lesser road tax, only 1.5 litres. City more fuel efficient bcoz of technology, it gives abt 12km/litre if i drive fast. My previous hyundai matrix only return me 6km/litre when i drive fast and feed him with 98ron petrol. The only thing i like about tuscani is the looks lol.... anyway tuscani not a bad car.... its just that it doesn't perform like it should and should giak yiu. I think the interior of the tuscani oso quite nice. Overall?..............made affordable. -
It has been tune down for the price, if toking bout peformance, Sonata using 4G64 engine as well, why it can't run as fast as Evo? I dun understand...Originally posted by zacus:10.5 secs still sucks for a sports car lol............ anyway thanks for the info... -
Seems like this fella feel shame bout his own car, dun even dare to reveal it, LOL. Shame to u, lamer~!Originally posted by guitarman1:Dun be as childish as me la... Even if I driving the most lau pok car in the world, doesn't mean I cant criticise another car..

Wat car I drive doesn't matter, it doesn't change the fact that the Tus gives me the impression its a poser.
U classified Tus as a poor man car, as many other forum brudder oledi justify tht it was 110+ when the Type-R was oni 120k+. It's a matter of preferrence. I got frend who r 23 oni drive tus take 8 yrs loan, father drive E class, stay bunglow, is him a poor guy??? His dad is planning on his SLR now...hmm...since u so good in judging, judge for me pls~!
Well, some said if a tus owner stick to 8-10yrs loan is a poor man, then does it mean they need to settle full payment at once to prove tht they r rich or smart??? for the latest price of Tus, I can settle the full amount without single loan, but if i buy it, i'll still using the same loan period tht they offered, bcos I'm just trying to use my money in a smart way.
Guys, did u pissed by a Tus recently? Or else why u so biased bout them suddenly? U think Tus will loose to normal 1.6 sedan or Celica, did u see it? from wat i know, stock Tus can beat any sedan (auto oni, bcos Tus 2.0 is coming with auto oni) & even SS1. U r driving a sedan, wat car is tht??? mind to let us help u judge it whether u r a pathetic looser or u just like tht car to fetch u from point A to point B.
Believe me, the more u argue is just to show us how childish r u, to discuss bout a car, this is not a good attitude in a forum, it getting u nowhere, & i believe u r just lucky to b in this forum which is not properly monitor, or else, guess u have been banned oledi, hahaha -
ok, if juz becuz i tink Tus is generally a poser's car means I'm an immature 24 yr old, then so be it...
So the next time u all SAINTS start judging something, do remember not be too immature ok?
See Singapore Idol, don't say stuff like "Wah this singer sux man! He dun deserve to be idol!" kind of stuff (as an example)...
Also, when u read around the car forums, and ppl post "Taxi drivers all suck!" Remember to go flame them and tell them not too generalise becuz mebe ur relative also drive taxi and how much hard work it is... and tell them how immature they are...
You all can go ahead and live in your lovey-dovey world where everything is perfect and everything is equal.
Sheeeeeshh....
